🐻 Bear Spray Safety Workshop with June 7, 2026.


Today, 11 participants gathered at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve in Chilliwack BC for a hands-on Bear Spray Safety Workshop led by Aneurin Sheasby, the local WildSafeBC Fraser Valley Community Coordinator.

Hosted by SFRC's Founder 🫶

Together we learned:
✅ How bear spray works
✅ Safe carry, storage, transporting & deployment techniques
✅ Basic wildlife encounter safety
✅ How to feel more confident exploring the outdoors

One of the things I love most about hosting community events is watching people arrive as strangers and leave feeling a little more connected and informed. We had people who are new to bear encounters and people who regularily encounter them: each found this course to have valuable information they were not aware of to take away.

A huge thank you to Aneurin and WildSafeBC, a non-profit, for sharing their expertise and helping us better understand how to safely coexist with wildlife here in BC. 🇨🇦

Thanks to everyone who came out, asked great questions, practiced with the inert training equipment, and supported the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve through your generous donations for the venue space.

Chexk out their large gift shop run by community volunteers. You might find a nice gift, and you can explore the trail network that connects to the Vedder river trails.

At SFRC, we believe movement, education, and community all go hand in hand. Whether we're walking, running, hiking, learning new outdoor skills, every event is another opportunity to build connection and confidence outdoors.

Stay tuned for future hikes, wellness events, workshops, and community gatherings from our club.

Canyon to Coast

WOW! 😍

What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday on the scenic Canyon to Coast route in Chilliwack BC 🇨🇦

SFRC Fraser Valley showed up to support set-up, registration and an aid station to give those runner's some high-vibes to keep em' going to the finish line. ✨️🏅✨️

The best part of the day is hearing from the marathoners that for many this was their first marathon. They all looked incredible and kept smiling! One man said he had over 300 marathons under his belt! We heard people came from Vancouver Island and even as far north as Fort. St John, specifically for this Run Like A Girl Adventures course over other city marathons available.

I love seeing the signs people make and captured a cheerleader rocking her beautiful poster with added spirit for energy. You can't get that from a gel. 💖⭐️

There is something magic about breaking the stigma around humans running "like a girl". The paradox is that it sets the tone for anyone to show up inclusively beyond the limitations of what you believe is possible for yourself, or collectively.

I think that's why SFRC resonates as an RLAG Approved Club ✅️. We provide a substance-free movement space on Saturdays to support recovery pacing, connection, shared wellness and support without any stigma around people living a sober life, or whether you are simply sober supportive.

We are so grateful to show up and support you on your journey as you run your own race at your pace. 🏃‍♀️🫶

📣 We’re proud to officially be recognized as an RLAG Approved Run Club! 👉

What started as a simple Saturday run 6 months ago on October 25/25, has naturally grown into a welcoming community space rooted in wellness, movement without pressure, and genuine connection. 🌿

Through this partnership, SFRC is now featured in the RLAG community section and movement map on their website.

You’ll also catch Founder participating in different RLAG events and initiatives throughout the year, with opportunities for future special events to pop-up near you!

As our club continues to grow across the Fraser Valley, this connection helps expand community in a meaningful and organic way — bringing more people together through movement, inclusivity, and shared support.

Together, we continue building stronger and wider community connections to keep pacing sobriety forward and reduce the stigma around recovery. 💛

Many of our members are sober supporters, in recovery or simply showing up for the slow pace and social vibes.

We respect everyone's journey, and welcome you to show up as you are. 🏳️‍🌈

🎉🎉🎉 I wanted to take a moment to share this past weekend cheering on the milestone's of our club community. These are friends I've made after getting sober last year and putting myself out there to keep pacing forward. By doing so, I've met these freaking amazing women who inspire me as they dare greatly!

They have all done the work on every level to overcome something and become the version of themselves you see today.

Please give three cheers to:

🎉 Robyn on her first trail race ever, 12k at 5 Peaks Trail Running Golden Ears!

🎉 Charity on her first 21.1k half marathon road race ever! From our sober sister club in Squamish!

🎉 Lana on her first 42.2k marathon ever at the BMO in Vancouver!

You inspire me not because you ran, but because you crossed the start line and embraced the unknown even when you didn't think you could go any further at some point in your life. I'm humbled to share your joy and grateful that SFRC brought us together. 🙏

I also celebrated my 16 months sobriety at 5 Peaks Golden Ears, hiking the 7.5km Sport course on a beautiful blue bird BC day on May 2, 2026.

Our little run club is now 6 months the old as well. 🥰

Special Run Update!

This week’s run will look a little different on April 18th, 2026.

We are going to go support Brock Fast, the creator of the new parkrun at Matsqui Trail. Brock also sits on the Board of Directors for the Run For Sobriety Association with me. 👏

🔗 Click the link in bio to register with Parkrun and get your barcode downloaded to your phone. Bring it to scan in with them at the event to register your results.

📍845am Meet me under the Matsqui Bridge.
🏃‍♀️9am Run at your own pace.

Parkrun is a great alternative when SFRC runs aren't scheduled or you want to improve on your 5k time.

This is an opportunity to stay connected in the community — and pace yourself forward however you choose.

If you’ve been thinking about running, this is a good one to come to and we are joining the Parkrun peeps for our ritual coffee social. ☕️
